Night outdoor puja scene at an ashram. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti and white shawl with a red border, wearing a rudraksha mala and tilak, sits on a white stepped platform and hands a small metal bowl to a devotee. Before him are brass vessels, a kalasha-like container, flower petals and offerings on a cloth. Two people stand at left: a woman in an orange shawl and a man in a blue floral shirt with an orange shawl, both reaching forward to receive. Another woman in an orange top stands at far left. A red pillar and a lit building are behind. Three people are visible. No one is identified by name in the image.

A bare-chested devotee with a gold chain and rudraksha-style beads kneels on a striped mat, while a standing priest in white dhoti and shawl holds a gold sheet over his head. In the foreground, a man in white dhoti and a multicoloured striped shawl, with an orange cloth at his waist, extends his hands toward an offering. A flower-decorated tray, kalasha-like vessels, marigold garlands and a pink flower arrangement sit on a low table, with smoke drifting through the air. Red pillars and foliage frame the background. This appears to be an abhishekam or puja-type ceremony, with three people visible.2017-09-05October 19 20122012-10-19April 23 20122012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23August 15 20172017-08-15 +1 copiesApril 23 20122012-04-23Night-time outdoor gathering of devotees in white clothes with orange saffron shawls.

Other devotees, including a woman in white with orange shawl, stand around them. Dark background and a metal stage truss overhead suggest an evening ritual or satsang setting.
